    Ep.146 How to practice & digest feedback

    Hello Everyone! In this episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, we’re diving into one of the most crucial aspects of your training—how to practice effectively and digest feedback in a way that truly transforms your dancing. So many dancers go through the motions in class, but real progress comes from training with intention. I’ll break down: ✅ The difference between mindless repetition and smart practice✅ How to truly absorb corrections instead of just hearing them and feeling bad about them ✅ Why feedback, no matter how tough, is your greatest tool for success✅ How to be the kind of student teachers love to work with✅ Shifting your perspective on feedback, reframing critiques as opportunities, not criticism Practicing without purpose leads to slow progress. But when you learn how to train efficiently, apply feedback correctly, and develop a growth mindset, you’ll start seeing real, measurable improvements. Get ready to level up your practice habits, become a better student, and make every class count! 🎧✨ ------- ✨ Want to take your ballet training to the next level?
